<p>[NOT SURE WHY ITS NOT POSTING PROPERLY]
[SORRY]</p>
<p>prompt: Write a letter to your city council in which you argue for teaching computer skills or for providing daycare, explaining how your choice will benefit the community. </p>
<p>Yesterday, I heard about the communitys plan to assist men andwomen in getting jobs.
Two proposals have been made. One proposal is to teach computer skills to members of the
community who are looking for a job, and the other proposal is to provide daycare for
parents with young children. Both proposals are exciting; however, the proposal to teach
computer skills is better because it will benefit the community.</p>
<p>The proposal to provide daycare sounds like a good idea, but it will not benefit the
community. First, there are no qualified daycare workers in the community to work at the
new center. If the community were to enact this proposal, then the children in the community
would not be well taken care of. Unqualified personal will not know what to do in the case of
an emergency and will not be able to provide the communitys children with educational
experiences or proper nutrition. Second, this proposal will only help very few people. My
community has very few young children. Most of these children are from two parent homes
and do not need daycare. Therefore, the community should not enact this proposal.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the proposal to create computer training classes will benefit the
community because it will help residents to get jobs. Many jobs in this day and age require
computer skills. Many of our residents have been thrown out of work or have been refused
jobs because they do not possess the necessary skills to compete. Computer training classes
will teach community members valuable skills like how to use programs such as Microsoft
Office and how to conduct internet research. This knowledge will allow residents to compete
for jobs as researchers, personal assistants, and clerks. Moreover, large local companies that
have been forced to hire out of town workers will be able to hire local workers if our
residents had more computer training. Thus, the community would be best served by the
proposal to create computer training classes.</p>
<p>Moreover, the proposal will be good for the community because it will make job training
more convenient. Currently any residents who want to get quality job training need to travel
three towns away to take a good class. For this reason, good job training is expensive and
highly inconvenient. Many residents do not have cars and rely on long, expensive bus rides
to get to job training in distant towns. The few residents who are able to get this distant
training are greatly inconvenienced. For example, friends of mine take an evening express
bus that costs five dollars each way. This bus takes 90 minutes each way and my friends have
to wait for over an hour after their job training class to take the bus home. My friends, like
many residents, are greatly inconvenienced by the distance of current job training sites. For
this reason, the community would be wise to follow this proposal.</p>
<p>The communitys plan to assist men and women in getting jobs is important. However,
only the proposal to teach computer skills will have the effect that the community desires. If
the community is serious about its goal to benefit its citizens, then it should seriously
consider enacting this proposal.</p>
